Estella Toler, M7L3-TJX, was included as a child of Estella McFatridge and Charles Toler due to an error in transcribing information from page 79 of "Some Descendants of John Endicott, Governor of Mass. Bay Colony" by Mabel McFatridge McCloskey. Estella Toler did not exist. I have unlinked her from the parents, and would like to delete her from FamilySearch.

    Profiles that have had multiple contributors cannot be deleted by users, but they can be archived (i.e., made invisible for most purposes) by merging.

    Page 79 of _Some Descendants of John Endicott..._ (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZF-M9TH-N?i=826&cat=298565) has an entry that reads: "II Estella McFatridge. b. 9 Nov. 1877 Carroll Co., Ind. m. Charles Toler. n. ch. Estella is a nurse in Indianapolis." As far as I can tell, "n.ch." means "no children", but I can see how the text could easily be interpreted to be saying that Charles and Estella had a child Estella who is a nurse. (The book is dated 1943, meaning Estella was retirement age.) So Estella Toler is a mistake for Estella McFatridge, and the easiest correction is to merge those profiles.
